It's because the French want them all here asap and we pay millions each year to the French to keep it that way...Always a catch A.Yet more money flushed down the toilet.
It's really not. Most of the people gathered at Calais, and Coquelles and dieppe and other channel ports have been offered asylum in France and Belgium, but have chosen to waive that right and have chosen to try and get to England because they think, and are right in 99.99999% of cases, that we are a tolerant, peaceful society that acceps all comers to these islands to get a better life...they are not all coming here to blow us all up! As the right wing media will have us all thinking.
With the Italian navy stopping search and rescue missions, I assume the wave from Africa will turn into a flood all heading to France and ultimately to the channel ports. It's a 21st century problem off mass migration away from war and famine torn areas of the world towards a stable Europe and there is no way of stopping it.
